No charges will be filed against the teenage girl whose newborn infant was found dead last fall at her northwest Midland home, police said Wednesday.

Authorities said the toxicology and autopsy results released showed the baby was stillborn.

On Sunday, October 18, 2009, officers were dispatched to Midland Memorial Hospital around 1:50 p.m. where a 16-year-old girl had been transported there from her home by paramedics after she was said to have just given birth.

The baby was found dead in the girl's home, according to investigators. The body was transported to Tarrant County for an autopsy.

Full toxicology results usually take up to six months to complete, officials said.
